This was a return visit that was much overdue. If you don't know about the Benedictine Brewery and…read moreyou love artfully hand crafted beer? You need to become acquainted. The monks of the Mount Angel Benedictine Abbey are practicing a centuries old tradition... As part of their daily observation of life, they brew beer. Let me tell you it is absolutely outstanding. The grounds are breathtaking, on a little hillside outside of Mount Angel, just under an hour south Portland. I highly recommend that you take one of the more scenic drives instead of just blasting down I-5, but you do you. It's not a restaurant per se. But there are snacks. And there is a large selection of beer. My partner and I already knew that we had no idea what we wanted because we want everything and that would make driving home extremely difficult. So we opted for the only logical choice: the sampler Their sampler boards come with either four or five slots, and they provide a 4 ounce pour into the sampler glass. We each got a five spot board, and two additional drinking glasses so that we could pour splits, and were thus able to sample 10 of the brews on tap. We also decided that snacks were in order so we got the spinach, artichoke dip, times two. You order at the counter and when your order is prepared, you are called and can pick it up. It's a very simple set up, harkening back to a simpler time in many ways. Some of the taps vary seasonally. Some of them are occasionally just out. I can't tell you what you're going to find. But I can tell you if the Hairshirt, the Half Cloak, and the Little Tyrant are on tap? You definitely want to sample those. This is not typical mid-grade Portland IPA... These are exceptional brews across a variety of styles Highly recommended! I go down every time I get a chance and suggest that you might want to consider that as well

Lot of get up and go here! The do have other items on the menu but come here for the burgers which are outstanding! Everything from a basic burger which is pretty filling to a four 1/4 pound patty burger with all the trimming that will send your bp into orbit. They also serve craft beer here of course. It is Mount Angel after all. Not a huge seating area but it was empty when our group of six showed up. Plenty of street parking unless Oktoberfest is going on. Good comfort food, generous portions at decent prices. Definitely worth a visit to check it out.

It's pretty much a locals hangout but the staff and patrons are friendly towards outsiders and even greasy Bikers like me. Good selection of beers. The menu is limited so I usually go with fish and chips or a burger. They do run specials and you can never go wrong ordering a special. There's several good saloons in Mt Angel which is not surprising. The burb is sort of the beer capitol of Oregon. 30 miles south of Portland and 20 miles north of Salem so handy enough to get to. But you are really out in the country here. Just getting here and back is a very nice ride. Well, until you hit I-5.

I joined some friends for a night of music by Rich McCloud. It's a spacious and bright…read moreestablishment that offers a variety of regional ciders and beers. Food varies upon the featured food trucks. While there, friends enjoyed sharing a supreme pizza. Amidst the multiple drink options, there were only two canned non-alcoholic brews to choose from. Unfortunate as the climate of sobriety continues to gain popularity. The featured musician was outstanding, but I think the lack of acoustic sound proofing, mood lighting, and loud talkers distracted from his performance. There should be some sort of separation of those there to enjoy the music and others there to visit out of respect for the performer. Additionally, the poster misspelled his name and had no address (I ended up at another location). Small but notable gaffes.

My friends and I like to play dominos or cards while we relax with some snacks and drinks, and…read moreSilver Falls Brewery fills the bill for all of that. Looking for an afternoon bite and brew, we stopped in with our dominos and ordered the Korean Cauliflower (fried cauliflower tossed in Seoul sauce & topped with scallions and sesame seeds) and the Totchos (Cajun tots topped with either Spanish Chicken or Mojo pork, with Ranger Red beer cheese, black beans, pickled red onion/jalapeño mix, scallions, and cilantro-lime crema). Oh my goodness. That sauce on that fried cauliflower was like heaven in your mouth! So good! The totchos topped with Spanish Chicken was super tasty! Loved being able to relax with our dominos in a place where the food was deliciously good and we didn't feel like we were being rushed out. And that cauliflower is to-die-for. Whatever that Seoul sauce is, it's the best!

The Muffuletta Melt was delicious, but also quite salty. I'm not a huge olive fan (it was my husband's pick), but the few bites I took were all I could handle for saltiness. Proceed with caution... :) The beet salad was superb. The Gorgonzola cheese was so fresh and soft. And the toasted bread that came with it was worth every carb! Everything was homemade - ranch and other sauces, the candied hazelnuts on the salad, and obviously the beer! Husband said the American Red Ale, and would recommend it! My Chardonnay from the local Paradis Vineyard was fresh, beautifully clear, and light. (Btw - Paradis Vineyards is a family-owned local winery in the Cascade Foothills near Silverton, run by fourth-generation brothers!) Also - the brewery has no less than FIVE separate eating spaces, three outdoor (two of which are lower level), two indoor (one lower and one upper level). The upper indoor level has a second bar space as well. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we did!!

This brewery here is pretty chill and relaxed, at least the day when I was here it was. For this brewery I had the Italian Job which was an Italian Pilsner. It was decent and I had no complaints about it. I am kind of picky with this type of pilsner and felt like I have come across a bit better ones in my brewery adventures but it was still pleasant and refreshing. Flavor features in this beer are biscuity with a crisp finish. As I mentioned it was a refreshing and a good beer to have during the summer heat.
